Today we rented a car. It’s BRAND new! I got to ride in the front with my Dad so that Hannah and I would leave each other alone. First we drove up to Port Douglas and had lunch. In fact, we had Mexican food for the first time in five months!!! I had a bean and cheese burrito which was yummy. I miss Mexican food.

After that we left Port Douglas and drove further up the coast to a place called Mossman Gorge. It’s the southern most part of the Daintree National Park which is a rain forest. I have never been in a rain forest before. It was COOL! Actually it was HOT and HUMID. But it was VERY VERY green and damp. There were all kinds of big trees and a canopy overhead that made like a roof. We walked a while and found a suspension bridge and we went on it and made it rock. My Mom was trying to take a picture but the bridge just wouldn’t hold still!

Anyway, after that we had ice cream, a 99 cent Flake just like England. My Dad said we’d find them all over Australia. I want another one!

Then we headed back and stopped at a great place called Ellis Beach. Soft sand and warm water. We waded in the water and had a great time!

Another fun day in Australia!!!
